About the Event

We’re thrilled to bring you yet another superb edition of ATMOsphere Japan during the month of super February – it will be THE time to be in Tokyo!

The 2020 edition of the conference discuss and analyze the status of the market for natural refrigerants-based technologies and opportunities in the fast-growing market of Japan where competition is increasing.

February 2020 is THE time to be in Tokyo with other important industry events happening such as:

Supermarket Trade Show 2020
Hoteres Japan
HVAC&R Japan 2020

Venue

Tokyo Conference Center, Japan, 〒108-0075 Tokyo, Minato City, Konan, 1 Chome−9−36 アレア品川 3F-5F

Conference Content

Key discussion points in this year’s conference will include:

Policy and Regulatory developments:

Upcoming F-gas regulation revision: After 5 years, Japan’s F-Gas Law is planned to be reviewed, with the process starting in 2020. The revision represents an opportunity to address the lack of ambition in some aspects in comparison to F-Gas regulation in Europe.
The IEC vote and ongoing HC risk assessment are affecting the hydrocarbons market as it expands from the light commercial sector into a wider range of applications in commercial refrigeration.
Ongoing subsidies by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment continue to drive the market for NatRefs in commercial and industrial refrigeration applications.

Rapidly evolving market dynamics:

Industrial Refrigeration: Low charge ammonia based solutions are now competing with CO2 TC systems being newly offered by several players.
Commercial Refrigeration: CO2 TC condensing units have been the traditional NatRef solution for Japanese retailers. Recent years, however, have shown an increased acceptance of hydrocarbon plug-in showcases and in 2019 there was an emergence of a new proposition: R290 water loop systems.
Light commercial refrigeration & other applications: Japan has always been a strong R&D hub with Kigali bringing a wave of attention and investment into HFC-free solutions. In 2020, we expect to see new technologies harnessing the power of natural refrigerants in new and specialised industries
